The story of tilapia is timeless. Tilapia is one of the earliest known species of fish-culture in history. Illustrations from an Egyptian tomb dating back to 2000 BC show a pair of small fish that can be identified as Tilapia nilotica. In Egypt and the Holy Land, tilapia has always been regarded as an important fish. It is often called "Saint Peter's fish" in reference to biblical passages of how the saint fed the fish to hundreds of people. Today, the Nile tilapia is still the most widely cultured species of fish in all of Africa.
